EIOT SHOT FIRED
AT STEEL TRUST
Gombine Attacked In House of
Representatives.
CALLED PERNICIOUS MONOPOLY
Roosevelt Is Also Denounced as the
Tool of the Trust Because Ho Allow
ed It to Get Control of the Tennessee
Iron Company.
Representative Stanley, of Ken
tucky, made a forty-flve-mlnute plea
in the House of Representatives, at
Washington, for action by that body
on his resolution calling for an Investi
gation of the United States Steel Cor-
portion. He characterized the corpor
ation as a "lawless, defiant and pernic
ious monopoly," and demand that the
guilty, "no matter how hfgh or pow
erful, he brought to the bar of Jus
tice.”
Mr. Stanley declared the "steel
trust," in fear of competition from
Andrew Carnegie, paid him the colos
sal sum of $520,000,000 for a plant
rated two yeara before at $78,000,000.
Mr. Stanley declared B. H. Gary
and Henry C. Frick went to President
Roosevelt and told him that if he
dared interfere with their plans (the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company), whether legal or ille
gal, the "so-called prosperity of his
administration would end in a finan
cial cataclysm."
'■Never," continued Mr. Stanley,
"since the Prince of Darkness appear
ed to the Nazarene on the mountain*
was such visitation of evil and far-
reaching dominion unveiled to the
vision of God or man. And the hero
of Ban Juan Hill, and the savior of
men assumed the same relative posi
tion toward the arch tempter. The
Saviour said, 'Get thee behind Me, Sat
an,' and Roosevelt cried, 7 will get
In front of you, thou O-mniacleat devil,
I will paralyze the arm of Jastloe and
still voice the popular clamor while
you sandbag a competitor and loot a
dominion In the South, rleh and vaat
as an empire."

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
As Result of Jealousy Man Kills Self
and Betrothed.
Sitting on the steps of the country
church at Naked Creek, near HarriBon-
burg, Va., Pltzhugh Comer, a young
farmer, shot and killed his betrothed,
Miss Cora Turner, aged 20 years, and
then committed suicide.
Comer was Jealous of the atten
tlons of another farmer to Miss Tur
ner, and several times, It Is alleged,
he threatened to kin the girl if she
continued to write to^ anyone else but
him. Having heard that the girl was
exchanging letters with another, Co
mer went to the girl’s house armed
with a shotgun. Miss Tuaoer did not
regard him with suspicion, and the
couple strolled away to the church
yard, near by. They talked for an
hour and suddenly Comer drew away
and fired a load Into the girl’s shoul
der. When she did not fall, he reload
ed and fired again below the heart.
Comer watched her, and, calmly
loading his gun, turned it against
himself. Death was instantaneous.

FOR TARIFF BOARD.
First of Legislation Favored by Taft
Passes House.
After considering the matter for
more than seven hours under a spooled
rule the house of representatives by a
vote of 186 to 98 passed the bill pro
viding for a permanent tariff board of
five members. This Is the first of the
legislation recommended by President
Taft to be adopted In the house this
session.
The demoorats split on the passage
of the bill, and although Champ Clark,
the minority leader, voted for the
measure, ninety of his followers were
recorded against It. The’Tithere who
voted In the negative were scattering
republicans. The democrats voted to
gether on various amendments to the
bill, but In each instance they were
defeated and the bill was put through
in exactly the shape it had come from
the committee. The insurgent repub-
Ucans voted with the regulars of their
party In opposition to the democratic
amendments and on the final passage
of the bill.

prevent the erection of the reforma
tory was taken there was an outburst
of applause.
The original Carlin amendment,
which Included Virginia only In the
excluded territory, was amended on
motion of Mr. Pearre to Include Mary
land. Patriotic societies throughout

GOLDEN GATE HAS
WON CANAL SHOW
Panama Exposition Goss to
San Francisco.
WILL BE HELD IN 1911.
New Orleans Was Defeated by Repub
lican Votes, the Demoorats Qener-
ally Supporting the Cresoent City.
A Washington dispatch says: The
House of Repreaontatlves, by a vote
of 88 to 159, decided In fav»r of San
Francisoo, and against New Orleans,
as the olty In which an exposition to
celebrate the opening of the Panama
canal In 1915 shall be held.
The vote was taken on a roll call to
determine whether the San Francisco
resolution or the New ,«Orleans bill
should have consideration in the
House. On a final vote, the San Fran-
otsco resolution Was passed by a vote
of 269 to 48.
The advocates of San Francisco are
olaiming that their fight is won, and
that the Senate will ratify the action
of the House.
San Francisco won by capturing the
Republican vote in the House. New
Orleans’ support came from the Demo
crats. Only thirty Republicans Toted
for New Orleans. Thirty-six Demo
crats voted for San Francisco. The
8an Francisco resolution does not ask
for government aid In .any form. It
simply authorizes the president of the
United States to Invite foreign nations
to participate in the fair.
An effort to amend the resolution to
lnelude provisions for an international
naval parade from Hampton Roads
through the Panama oanal and up the
west coast to San Francisco was de
feated on a parliamentary point of or
der.
The New Orleans bill called for an
appropriation of $1,000,000 for a gov
ernment exhibit and the creation of a
government commission.
DROP IN DEPOSITS.
Deerease of $191,000,000 In National
Banka of Country.
Deposits of individuals in the 7,200
national banks of tbe United States
decreased $191,566,488 between No
vember 10 and January 7—a situation
probably unprecedented In the reports
made to the comptroller of the cur
rency.
Of that Bam, more than $168,000,000
was withdrawn from the thirty-nine
national banks of New York city. No
two ofBolals of the treasury agree as
to where the money went. Some are of
the opinion that part of U might have
gone to strengthen the New York state
banks and trust companies during the
flurry caused by the so-called Robin
failure early In the month.
All of the treasury officials, however,
expressed great interest in what ex
planations the New York bankers
might give.
